Not only does it help the environment, but you get efficiency in business transactions due to the ease and speed of the digital/electronic medium. Although additional concerns spring up from this growing trend, like transaction security and document confidentiality, these can be easily addressed through employing a proactive stance against data theft. I hope to see the day when most of the businesses around the globe employs paperless transactions, and I think that would be a good day for humanity and mother earth. <br /><br /><a href="http://spectruminfo.tumblr.com/post/76982100360/be-hipaa-omnibus-compliant-through-secure-document" rel="nofollow">Curtis Pilon @ SpectrumInformation.com</a>Curtis Pilonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08963533170169635823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928529530246971720.post-27656551679419311402013-09-29T04:39:32.142-04:002013-09-29T04:39:32.142-04:00Yes.

Most of my ancestors are from small New England towns, so they probably have different attitudes about some of this than a place like Chicago. I HATE paying for anything before I know it&#39;s what I&#39;m looking for, so I will usually try to verify as much as I can ahead of time and only order something if I know its the right thing, or I have exhausted all other opportunities. In theory the fees incurred for requests like this aren&#39;t for the record itself, but more for the time and energy put into finding what you ask for, and... of course.. because its a way to make money.Maine-stream Middlewarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13036657548310779669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928529530246971720.post-12527420023738654712013-09-28T14:35:11.487-04:002013-09-28T14:35:11.487-04:00City of Chicago Vital Statistics send you a zip fi...City of Chicago Vital Statistics send you a zip file but they charge between $15 - $17 dollars per certificate. You also cannot see the certificate before you order it so often are not sure it is your relative. Money grab?Bishop Joanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07236025312006228292noreply@blogger.com
